SANITARY TOILET BOWL.

Application filed January 30, 1925. Serial No. 5,751;

This invention relates to sanitary toilets and particularly to chemical toilets, and has for its object, means which is particularly simple and economical in construction, and highly eflicient in use, for keeping odors from coming into the toilet room.

The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of this toilet.

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken centrally of Fig. 1.

This bowl comprises generally a bowl having a passage therethrough terminating in an outlet at its lower end, a closure for the outlet, a movable lid or cover for the bowl, and connections operated by the lid, whereby the cover is opened and closed when the lid is raised or lowered. It also includes a par ticularly simple and eflicient arrangement of a receptacle for a liquid seal within the bowl.

1 designates the bowl which may be of any suitable form, size and construct1on, 1t having a bowl proper in its upper portion, and

30 a hollow standard 2 supporting a bowl proper, the bowl proper being separated on its rear portion from the interior of the standard by a wall 3. The lower end of the standard is formed with an inwardly and upwardly extending flange 4 around the out-let 5, this flange providing a receptacle for a liquid seal around the outlet 5.

7 designates a cover or closure for the outlet for normally closing the outlet when the toilet is not in use. This cover may be of any suitable form, size and construction, and is usually formed of sheet metal, and is here shown as pivoted at 8 in the standard, and as having a down-turned marginal flange 9 extending into the channel 6, the cover extending across the upper edge of the flange 4. The pivot 8 is located in the rear of the outlet, so that the cover swings upwardly and rearwardly.

The bowl is provided with the outer hinged seat 10 and lid 11. The seat having a hinge leaf 12 pivoted to brackets 13, rising from the upper face of the rear portion of the bowl, and the lid 11 also having'a hinge leaf 14 pivoted to said brackets. Ob

viously when the seat is raised the lid will also be raised.

The connections operated by the lid to open and close the closure 7, as here'shown, comprises a link 15 pivoted at its lower end at 16 to an arm 17 extending rearwardly from the closure 7 beyond the pivot 8 and at its upper end to an arm 18 extending rearwardly from the lid beyond the axis of its hinge.

The rod 15 is preferably constructed to have yielding action so as to permit movement of the lid after the opening or closing movement of the closure 7 is completed. As here shown this flexibility is provided by a spring 20, interposed between an abutment or shoulder 21 on the rod 15, and a block 22 slidable on the upper end of the rod to which block the arm 18 is pivoted, as at 23. This arm is bifurcated or forked at its rear end and embraces the block 22. This block is held from displacement off from the rod by suitable means as a key 24.

The lid 7 is also provided on its lower face with a deflector 25 arranged to come into position when the closure is open to deflect matter through the outlet 5 and away from the channel 6. The inside of the bowl is also designed with an overhang above the channel 6 to prevent soil getting into the sealing liquid when the bowl is in use.

The seat 10 is also provided with a suitable stop 26 for limiting the opening movement of the seat. This stop being of a spring sheet metal, and coacting with the top of the bowl 1, when the seat is raised. The closure 7 is provided with a suitable shoulder 27 for en gaging the rod 15 and limiting the opening movement of the cover. p

In use the channel 6 is filled with a liquid and normally when the lid is closed the closure 7 closes the outlet 5 and thus prevents disagreeable odors, drafts, etc, from coming from beneath the bowl into the room. Upon lifting of the lid 11 the closure 7 is also opened.

What we claim is A sanitary toilet bowl comprising a bowl having a passage therethrough, the bowl being formed with an inwardly and upwardly extending flange at its lower end comprising an outlet and forming a channel for receiving a liquid seal around the outlet, a normally closed upwardly opening closure for the outlet located within the bowl and arranged to cover the inner edge of the channel around In testimony whereof, we have hereunto the passage of the bowl, the closure being signed our names at Syracuse, in the county Eivoted at the rear side of the passage and of Onondatga, and State of New York, this 10 eing formed with a deflector on its lower 23rd day 0 December, 1924. y 5 face arranged when the closure is opened,

to deflect matter away from the channel and CHARLES L. CARPENTER. through the outlet. V V WILLARD E. JAQUITH.
